There is a refcounter unbalance in the CRC checking routine invoked on OGM reception. A vlan object is retrieved (thus its refcounter is increased by one) but it is never properly released. This leads to a memleak because the vlan object will never be free'd. Fix this by releasing the vlan object after having read the CRC.

When accessing a TT-TVLV container in the OGM RX path the variable pointing to the list of changes to apply is altered by mistake. This makes the TT component read data at the wrong position in the OGM packet buffer. Fix it by removing the bogus pointer alteration.

Mathias reported that on an AMD Geode LX embedded board (ALiX) with ath9k driver PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS, introduced in commit d346a3fa ("packet: introduce PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS socket option"), triggers a WARN_ON() coming from the driver itself via 066dae93 ("ath9k: rework tx queue selection and fix queue stopping/waking"). The reason why this happened is that ndo_select_queue() call is not invoked from direct xmit path i.e. for ieee80211 subsystem that sets queue and TID (similar to 802.1d tag) which is being put into the frame through 802.11e (WMM, QoS). If that is not set, pending frame counter for e.g. ath9k can get messed up. So the WARN_ON() in ath9k is absolutely legitimate. Generally, the hw queue selection in ieee80211 depends on the type of traffic, and priorities are set according to ieee80211_ac_numbers mapping; working in a similar way as DiffServ only on a lower layer, so that the AP can favour frames that have "real-time" requirements like voice or video data frames. Therefore, check for presence of ndo_select_queue() in netdev ops and, if available, invoke it with a fallback handler to __packet_pick_tx_queue(), so that driver such as bnx2x, ixgbe, or mlx4 can still select a hw queue for transmission in relation to the current CPU while e.g. ieee80211 subsystem can make their own choices.

Add a new argument for ndo_select_queue() callback that passes a fallback handler. This gets invoked through netdev_pick_tx(); fallback handler is currently __netdev_pick_tx() as most drivers invoke this function within their customized implementation in case for skbs that don't need any special handling. This fallback handler can then be replaced on other call-sites with different queue selection methods (e.g. in packet sockets, pktgen etc). This also has the nice side-effect that __netdev_pick_tx() is then only invoked from netdev_pick_tx() and export of that function to modules can be undone. Suggested-by: David S.

Implementation of (a)rwnd calculation might lead to severe performance issues and associations completely stalling. These problems are described and solution is proposed which improves lksctp's robustness in congestion state. 1) Sudden drop of a_rwnd and incomplete window recovery afterwards Data accounted in sctp_assoc_rwnd_decrease takes only payload size (sctp data), but size of sk_buff, which is blamed against receiver buffer, is not accounted in rwnd. Theoretically, this should not be the problem as actual size of buffer is double the amount requested on the socket (SO_RECVBUF). Problem here is that this will have bad scaling for data which is less then sizeof sk_buff. E.g. in 4G (LTE) networks, link interfacing radio side will have a large portion of traffic of this size (less then 100B). An example of sudden drop and incomplete window recovery is given below. Node B exhibits problematic behavior. Node A initiates association and B is configured to advertise rwnd of 10000. A sends messages of size 43B (size of typical sctp message in 4G (LTE) network). On B data is left in buffer by not reading socket in userspace. Lets examine when we will hit pressure state and declare rwnd to be 0 for scenario with above stated parameters (rwnd == 10000, chunk size == 43, each chunk is sent in separate sctp packet) Logic is implemented in sctp_assoc_rwnd_decrease: socket_buffer (see below) is maximum size which can be held in socket buffer (sk_rcvbuf). current_alloced is amount of data currently allocated (rx_count) A simple expression is given for which it will be examined after how many packets for above stated parameters we enter pressure state: We start by condition which has to be met in order to enter pressure state: socket_buffer < currently_alloced; currently_alloced is represented as size of sctp packets received so far and not yet delivered to userspace. x is the number of chunks/packets (since there is no bundling, and each chunk is delivered in separate packet, we can observe each chunk also as sctp packet, and what is important here, having its own sk_buff): socket_buffer < x*each_sctp_packet; each_sctp_packet is sctp chunk size + sizeof(struct sk_buff). socket_buffer is twice the amount of initially requested size of socket buffer, which is in case of sctp, twice the a_rwnd requested: 2*rwnd < x*(payload+sizeof(struc sk_buff)); sizeof(struct sk_buff) is 190 (3.13.0-rc4+). Above is stated that rwnd is 10000 and each payload size is 43 20000 < x(43+190); x > 20000/233; x ~> 84; After ~84 messages, pressure state is entered and 0 rwnd is advertised while received 84*43B ~= 3612B sctp data. This is why external observer notices sudden drop from 6474 to 0, as it will be now shown in example: IP A.34340 > B.12345: sctp (1) [INIT] [init tag: 1875509148] [rwnd: 81920] [OS: 10] [MIS: 65535] [init TSN: 1096057017] IP B.12345 > A.34340: sctp (1) [INIT ACK] [init tag: 3198966556] [rwnd: 10000] [OS: 10] [MIS: 10] [init TSN: 902132839] IP A.34340 > B.12345: sctp (1) [COOKIE ECHO] IP B.12345 > A.34340: sctp (1) [COOKIE ACK] IP A.34340 > B.12345: sctp (1) [DATA] (B)(E) [TSN: 1096057017] [SID: 0] [SSEQ 0] [PPID 0x18] IP B.12345 > A.34340: sctp (1) [SACK] [cum ack 1096057017] [a_rwnd 9957] [#gap acks 0] [#dup tsns 0] IP A.34340 > B.12345: sctp (1) [DATA] (B)(E) [TSN: 1096057018] [SID: 0] [SSEQ 1] [PPID 0x18] IP B.12345 > A.34340: sctp (1) [SACK] [cum ack 1096057018] [a_rwnd 9957] [#gap acks 0] [#dup tsns 0] IP A.34340 > B.12345: sctp (1) [DATA] (B)(E) [TSN: 1096057019] [SID: 0] [SSEQ 2] [PPID 0x18] IP B.12345 > A.34340: sctp (1) [SACK] [cum ack 1096057019] [a_rwnd 9914] [#gap acks 0] [#dup tsns 0] <...> IP A.34340 > B.12345: sctp (1) [DATA] (B)(E) [TSN: 1096057098] [SID: 0] [SSEQ 81] [PPID 0x18] IP B.12345 > A.34340: sctp (1) [SACK] [cum ack 1096057098] [a_rwnd 6517] [#gap acks 0] [#dup tsns 0] IP A.34340 > B.12345: sctp (1) [DATA] (B)(E) [TSN: 1096057099] [SID: 0] [SSEQ 82] [PPID 0x18] IP B.12345 > A.34340: sctp (1) [SACK] [cum ack 1096057099] [a_rwnd 6474] [#gap acks 0] [#dup tsns 0] IP A.34340 > B.12345: sctp (1) [DATA] (B)(E) [TSN: 1096057100] [SID: 0] [SSEQ 83] [PPID 0x18] --> Sudden drop IP B.12345 > A.34340: sctp (1) [SACK] [cum ack 1096057100] [a_rwnd 0] [#gap acks 0] [#dup tsns 0] At this point, rwnd_press stores current rwnd value so it can be later restored in sctp_assoc_rwnd_increase. This however doesn't happen as condition to start slowly increasing rwnd until rwnd_press is returned to rwnd is never met. This condition is not met since rwnd, after it hit 0, must first reach rwnd_press by adding amount which is read from userspace. Let us observe values in above example. Initial a_rwnd is 10000, pressure was hit when rwnd was ~6500 and the amount of actual sctp data currently waiting to be delivered to userspace is ~3500. When userspace starts to read, sctp_assoc_rwnd_increase will be blamed only for sctp data, which is ~3500. Condition is never met, and when userspace reads all data, rwnd stays on 3569.

Situation will be typically observed as one association suddenly having rwnd dropped to size of last packet received and never recovering beyond that point. Different scenarios will lead to it, but all have in common that one of the associations (let it be association from 1)) nearly depleted socket buffer, and the other association blames socket buffer just for the amount enough to start the pressure. This association will enter pressure state, set rwnd_press and announce 0 rwnd. When data is read by userspace, similar situation as in 1) will occur, rwnd will increase just for the size read by userspace but rwnd_press will be high enough so that association doesn't have enough credit to reach rwnd_press and restore to previous state. This case is special case of 1), being worse as there is, in the worst case, only one packet in buffer for which size rwnd will be increased. Consequence is association which has very low maximum rwnd ('minute size', in our case down to 43B - size of packet which caused pressure) and as such unusable. Scenario happened in the field and labs frequently after congestion state (link breaks, different probabilities of packet drop, packet reordering) and with scenario 1) preceding. Here is given a deterministic scenario for reproduction: >From node A establish two associations on the same socket, with rcvbuf_policy being set to share one common buffer (sctp.rcvbuf_policy == 0). On association 1 repeat scenario from 1), that is, bring it down to 0 and restore up. Observe scenario 1). Use small payload size (here we use 43). Once rwnd is 'recovered', bring it down close to 0, as in just one more packet would close it. This has as a consequence that association number 2 is able to receive (at least) one more packet which will bring it in pressure state. E.g. if association 2 had rwnd of 10000, packet received was 43, and we enter at this point into pressure, rwnd_press will have 9957. Once payload is delivered to userspace, rwnd will increase for 43, but conditions to restore rwnd to original state, just as in 1), will never be satisfied. --> Association 1, between A.y and B.12345 IP A.55915 > B.12345: sctp (1) [INIT] [init tag: 836880897] [rwnd: 10000] [OS: 10] [MIS: 65535] [init TSN: 4032536569] IP B.12345 > A.55915: sctp (1) [INIT ACK] [init tag: 2873310749] [rwnd: 81920] [OS: 10] [MIS: 10] [init TSN: 3799315613] IP A.55915 > B.12345: sctp (1) [COOKIE ECHO] IP B.12345 > A.55915: sctp (1) [COOKIE ACK] --> Association 2, between A.z and B.12346 IP A.55915 > B.12346: sctp (1) [INIT] [init tag: 534798321] [rwnd: 10000] [OS: 10] [MIS: 65535] [init TSN: 2099285173] IP B.12346 > A.55915: sctp (1) [INIT ACK] [init tag: 516668823] [rwnd: 81920] [OS: 10] [MIS: 10] [init TSN: 3676403240] IP A.55915 > B.12346: sctp (1) [COOKIE ECHO] IP B.12346 > A.55915: sctp (1) [COOKIE ACK] --> Deplete socket buffer by sending messages of size 43B over association 1 IP B.12345 > A.55915: sctp (1) [DATA] (B)(E) [TSN: 3799315613] [SID: 0] [SSEQ 0] [PPID 0x18] IP A.55915 > B.12345: sctp (1) [SACK] [cum ack 3799315613] [a_rwnd 9957] [#gap acks 0] [#dup tsns 0] <...> IP A.55915 > B.12345: sctp (1) [SACK] [cum ack 3799315696] [a_rwnd 6388] [#gap acks 0] [#dup tsns 0] IP B.12345 > A.55915: sctp (1) [DATA] (B)(E) [TSN: 3799315697] [SID: 0] [SSEQ 84] [PPID 0x18] IP A.55915 > B.12345: sctp (1) [SACK] [cum ack 3799315697] [a_rwnd 6345] [#gap acks 0] [#dup tsns 0] --> Sudden drop on 1 IP B.12345 > A.55915: sctp (1) [DATA] (B)(E) [TSN: 3799315698] [SID: 0] [SSEQ 85] [PPID 0x18] IP A.55915 > B.12345: sctp (1) [SACK] [cum ack 3799315698] [a_rwnd 0] [#gap acks 0] [#dup tsns 0] --> Here userspace read, rwnd 'recovered' to 3698, now deplete again using association 1 so there is place in buffer for only one more packet IP B.12345 > A.55915: sctp (1) [DATA] (B)(E) [TSN: 3799315799] [SID: 0] [SSEQ 186] [PPID 0x18] IP A.55915 > B.12345: sctp (1) [SACK] [cum ack 3799315799] [a_rwnd 86] [#gap acks 0] [#dup tsns 0] IP B.12345 > A.55915: sctp (1) [DATA] (B)(E) [TSN: 3799315800] [SID: 0] [SSEQ 187] [PPID 0x18] IP A.55915 > B.12345: sctp (1) [SACK] [cum ack 3799315800] [a_rwnd 43] [#gap acks 0] [#dup tsns 0] --> Socket buffer is almost depleted, but there is space for one more packet, send them over association 2, size 43B IP B.12346 > A.55915: sctp (1) [DATA] (B)(E) [TSN: 3676403240] [SID: 0] [SSEQ 0] [PPID 0x18] IP A.55915 > B.12346: sctp (1) [SACK] [cum ack 3676403240] [a_rwnd 0] [#gap acks 0] [#dup tsns 0] --> Immediate drop IP A.60995 > B.12346: sctp (1) [SACK] [cum ack 387491510] [a_rwnd 0] [#gap acks 0] [#dup tsns 0] --> Read everything from the socket, both association recover up to maximum rwnd they are capable of reaching, note that association 1 recovered up to 3698, and association 2 recovered only to 43 IP A.55915 > B.12345: sctp (1) [SACK] [cum ack 3799315800] [a_rwnd 1548] [#gap acks 0] [#dup tsns 0] IP A.55915 > B.12345: sctp (1) [SACK] [cum ack 3799315800] [a_rwnd 3053] [#gap acks 0] [#dup tsns 0] IP B.12345 > A.55915: sctp (1) [DATA] (B)(E) [TSN: 3799315801] [SID: 0] [SSEQ 188] [PPID 0x18] IP A.55915 > B.12345: sctp (1) [SACK] [cum ack 3799315801] [a_rwnd 3698] [#gap acks 0] [#dup tsns 0] IP B.12346 > A.55915: sctp (1) [DATA] (B)(E) [TSN: 3676403241] [SID: 0] [SSEQ 1] [PPID 0x18] IP A.55915 > B.12346: sctp (1) [SACK] [cum ack 3676403241] [a_rwnd 43] [#gap acks 0] [#dup tsns 0] A careful reader might wonder why it is necessary to reproduce 1) prior reproduction of 2). It is simply easier to observe when to send packet over association 2 which will push association into the pressure state. Proposed solution: Both problems share the same root cause, and that is improper scaling of socket buffer with rwnd. Solution in which sizeof(sk_buff) is taken into concern while calculating rwnd is not possible due to fact that there is no linear relationship between amount of data blamed in increase/decrease with IP packet in which payload arrived. Even in case such solution would be followed, complexity of the code would increase. Due to nature of current rwnd handling, slow increase (in sctp_assoc_rwnd_increase) of rwnd after pressure state is entered is rationale, but it gives false representation to the sender of current buffer space. Furthermore, it implements additional congestion control mechanism which is defined on implementation, and not on standard basis. Proposed solution simplifies whole algorithm having on mind definition from rfc: o Receiver Window (rwnd): This gives the sender an indication of the space available in the receiver's inbound buffer. Core of the proposed solution is given with these lines: sctp_assoc_rwnd_update: if ((asoc->base.sk->sk_rcvbuf - rx_count) > 0) asoc->rwnd = (asoc->base.sk->sk_rcvbuf - rx_count) >> 1; else asoc->rwnd = 0; We advertise to sender (half of) actual space we have. Half is in the braces depending whether you would like to observe size of socket buffer as SO_RECVBUF or twice the amount, i.e. size is the one visible from userspace, that is, from kernelspace. In this way sender is given with good approximation of our buffer space, regardless of the buffer policy - we always advertise what we have. Proposed solution fixes described problems and removes necessity for rwnd restoration algorithm. Finally, as proposed solution is simplification, some lines of code, along with some bytes in struct sctp_association are saved. Version 2 of the patch addressed comments from Vlad. Name of the function is set to be more descriptive, and two parts of code are changed, in one removing the superfluous call to sctp_assoc_rwnd_update since call would not result in update of rwnd, and the other being reordering of the code in a way that call to sctp_assoc_rwnd_update updates rwnd. Version 3 corrected change introduced in v2 in a way that existing function is not reordered/copied in line, but it is correctly called. Thanks Vlad for suggesting.

Commit 8fdade4b ("net: of_mdio: parse "max-speed" property to set PHY supported features") introduced a typo in of_set_phy_supported for the first assignment of phydev->supported which will not effectively limit the PHY device supported features bits if the PHY driver contains "higher" features (e.g: max-speed = <100> and PHY driver has PHY_GBIT_FEATURES set). Fix this by making sure that the very first thing is to reset to sane defaults (PHY_BASIC_FEATURES) and then progressively add speed features as we parse them.

Part of the timestamping functionality of the dp83640 is set up in the probe and with that lost, enabling timestamping will cause a PHY lockup, requiring a hard reset / power cycle to recover.

vhost_zerocopy_callback accesses VQ right after it drops a ubuf reference. In theory, this could race with device removal which waits on the ubuf kref, and crash on use after free. Do all accesses within rcu read side critical section, and synchronize on release. Since callbacks are always invoked from bh, synchronize_rcu_bh seems enough and will help release complete a bit faster. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

vhost checked the counter within the refcnt before decrementing. It really wanted to know that it is the one that has the last reference, as a way to batch freeing resources a bit more efficiently. Note: we only let refcount go to 0 on device release. This works well but we now access the ref counter twice so there's a race: all users might see a high count and decide to defer freeing resources. In the end no one initiates freeing resources until the last reference is gone (which is on VM shotdown so might happen after a looooong time). Let's do what we probably should have done straight away: switch from kref to plain atomic, documenting the semantics, return the refcount value atomically after decrement, then use that to avoid the deadlock.

It's wrong if the device tree doesn't provide a phy-mode property for the cpsw slaves as it is documented to be required in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/cpsw.txt.

Marcelo Ricardo Leitner reported problems when the forwarding link path has a lower mtu than the incoming one if the inbound interface supports GRO. Given: Host <mtu1500> R1 <mtu1200> R2 Host sends tcp stream which is routed via R1 and R2. R1 performs GRO. In this case, the kernel will fail to send ICMP fragmentation needed messages (or pkt too big for ipv6), as GSO packets currently bypass dstmtu checks in forward path. Instead, Linux tries to send out packets exceeding the mtu. When locking route MTU on Host (i.e., no ipv4 DF bit set), R1 does not fragment the packets when forwarding, and again tries to send out packets exceeding R1-R2 link mtu. This alters the forwarding dstmtu checks to take the individual gso segment lengths into account. For ipv6, we send out pkt too big error for gso if the individual segments are too big. For ipv4, we either send icmp fragmentation needed, or, if the DF bit is not set, perform software segmentation and let the output path create fragments when the packet is leaving the machine. It is not 100% correct as the error message will contain the headers of the GRO skb instead of the original/segmented one, but it seems to work fine in my (limited) tests. Eric Dumazet suggested to simply shrink mss via ->gso_size to avoid sofware segmentation. However it turns out that skb_segment() assumes skb nr_frags is related to mss size so we would BUG there. I don't want to mess with it considering Herbert and Eric disagree on what the correct behavior should be. Hannes Frederic Sowa notes that when we would shrink gso_size skb_segment would then also need to deal with the case where SKB_MAX_FRAGS would be exceeded. This uses sofware segmentation in the forward path when we hit ipv4 non-DF packets and the outgoing link mtu is too small. Its not perfect, but given the lack of bug reports wrt. GRO fwd being broken this is a rare case anyway. Also its not like this could not be improved later once the dust settles.

The bonding driver take write locks and spin locks that are shared by the tx path in enslave processing and notification processing, If the netconsole is in use, the bonding can call printk which puts us in the netpoll tx path, if the netconsole is attached to the bonding driver, result in deadlock. So add protection for these place, by checking the netpoll_block_tx state, we can defer the sending of the netconsole frames until a later time using the retransmit feature of netpoll_send_skb that is triggered on the return code NETDEV_TX_BUSY.

As commit 3c68198e("sctp: Make hmac algorithm selection for cookie generation dynamic"), we miss the .data initialization. If we don't use the net_namespace, the problem that parts of the sysctl configuration won't be isolation and won't occur. In sctp_sysctl_net_register(), we register the sysctl for each net, in the for(), we use the 'table[i].data' as check condition, so when the 'i' is the index of sctp_hmac_alg, the data is NULL, then break.

If a packet received on a link is out-of-sequence, it will be placed on a deferred queue and later reinserted in the receive path once the preceding packets have been processed. The problem with this is that it will be subject to the buffer adjustment from link_recv_buf_validate twice. The second adjustment for 20 bytes header space will corrupt the packet. We solve this by tagging the deferred packets and bail out from receive buffer validation for packets that have already been subjected to this.
